Introduction

INTRODUCTION

Background: In 1976, the National Park Service (NPS) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) entered into a Memorandum of Agreement(MOA), establishing the Road Inventory Program (RIP). In 1980, the NPS and the FHWA terminated the 1976 MOA and entered into a new MOA that provided for the completion of the initial phase of the RIP. The purpose of the RIP, per the 1980 MOA was to maintain and update RIP data in order to develop long-range costs and programs to bring National Park Service (NPS) roads up to, or to maintain, designated standards, and establish a maintenance managementprogram.

The FHWA’s Federal Lands Highway (FLH) was assigned the task of identifying condition deficiencies and corrective priorities along with associated corrective costs, inventorying maintenance features (e.g., culverts, signs, guardrail, etc.), summarizing the data and findings in a report and providing a photographic record of the road system.

The FLH completed the initial phase of the RIP in the early 1980’s. As a result of this effort, each park received a RIP book, also known as the “Brown Book,” that included the information collected during this initial RIP phase.

In an effort to maintain and update the RIP data, a cyclical data collection and reporting process was reestablished in the 1990’s. The FLH completed two cycles of RIP data collection between 1994 and 2001. Cycle 1 was collected in 44 large parks from 1994 to 1996. This data was found to be unusable for comparison to future cycles. Cycle 2 data was collected from March 1997 to January 2001 in 79 large parks and 5 small parks containing 4,874 route miles.Each park received a copy of a Cycle 2 RIP Report, also known as the “Blue Book”. Cycle 3 was completed from 2001 through 2004, and included data collection in all parks that contain pavement.

Since 1984, the RIP Program has been funded through the Federal Lands Highway Program’s Park Roads and Parkways (PRP) Program. Currently, the NPS Washington Headquarters’ Park Facility Management Division is responsible for coordinating the RIP program with the FLH. The FLH Washington office coordinates policy and prepares national reports and needsassessment studies for congress.

In 1998, the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) amendedTitle 23 U.S.C., and inserted Section 204(a)(6) which requires the Federal Highway Administration and the National Park Service, to develop, by rule, a Pavement Management System (PMS) for the park roads and parkways serving the National Park System. As a result of the requirements in TEA-21, the NPS and FHWA are in the process of developing a PMS. The PMS will assist thedecision-makers in effectively spending limited PRP Program funds. The PMS

1 - 1

will provide information for planning and programming road maintenance,rehabilitation, and reconstruction activities. RIP data will provide the basic information for this system.

Key information included in the RIP is the mileage inventory and conditionassessments accomplished by the RIP Program. The mileage and condition dataare used in the current allocation formula of PRP Program funds.

RIP Cycle 4: Cycle 4 data collection was initiated in spring 2006, where 86 large parks, consisting of 5,553 route miles and 6,232 paved parking areas, were selected as a representative sample of the entire NPS paved road network. Cycle 4 is scheduled for completion in spring 2009 and will serve the PMS in further development of its pavement preservation techniques.

In the Cycle 4 Reports, a general condition rating of excellent, good, fair and poor is ascribed to each one-mile section of paved roadway, and to each paved parking area. This condition rating system provides a realistic means of assessing the general funding needs for road improvements. Along with these descriptive condition ratings, a numerical rating between 0 and 100 is ascribed to each mileof road and to each parking area. This numerical rating is called a PavementCondition Rating (PCR). The PCR rating system is described in Section 10 of this report.

All of the fieldwork required for obtaining inventory, condition, and maintenancefeature information is coordinated with each park and the regional offices to ensure that the information in the RIP reports is accurate.

The FLH is responsible for all the data presented in this report. Anyone having questions or comments regarding the contents of this report is encouraged to contact the FHWA RIP Coordinator. It is our aim to provide exceptional customer satisfaction in our delivery of the RIP program.

APPENDIX B: DESCRIPTION OF RATING SYSTEM

A numerical roadway rating system is used to describe the overall condition of the paved roadways and pavedparking areas. In this system, a numerical rating between 0 and 100 is ascribed to each 0.02 miles of road. Thisnumerical rating is called a Pavement Condition Rating (PCR). A “perfect” road, newly constructed with no surfacedistresses and a smooth surface, would be assigned a PCR rating of 100. Based on the type, severity, and extent ofsurface distresses points are deducted from 100 to arrive at the final PCR.

Data is collected on the following distresses and conditions:

- Alligator Cracking - a series of interconnecting cracks resembling alligator skin orchicken wire, which can occur anywhere in the lane.

- Longitudinal Cracking - cracks which are parallel to the pavement centerline or asphaltlay-down direction.

- Transverse Cracking - cracks perpendicular to the pavement centerline.

- Pothole (patch) - a bowl-shaped hole in the pavement surface. May be patched or not.

- Rutting - surface depressions in the wheel paths.

- Roughness is collected as International Roughness Index (IRI) and is used in the PCRformula. Roughness is measured in inches of vertical displacement of the vehicle permile traveled.

A Distress Rating Index value is calculated for each of the individual distresses at the 0.02 mile, or every105.6 feet.

Calculation of Index Values

Note: Index values < 0 default to 0. Index values > 100 default to 100.For all indices, a higher value indicates a better road condition, and a lower value indicates a poorer roadcondition.All severity protocols are taken from the SHRP Distress Identification Manual.

Condition Ranges for all Indices

Excellent >=95 Good >=85 and <95 Fair >60 and <85 Poor <=60

Alligator Crack Index

AC_INDEX = 100 – 40 * [(%LOW / 70) + (%MED / 30) + (%HI / 10)]

Where :

The values %LOW, %MED and %HI describe the percent of the total WX measured area that is affectedby alligator cracking of each severity level. These values range from 0 to 100.

%LOW = (Total square area WX measured low severity alligator cracking) / (Section length * WXmeasured lane width)

10-2

%MED = (Total square area WX measured medium severity alligator cracking) / (Section length * WXmeasured lane width)%HI = (Total square area WX measured high severity alligator cracking) / (Section length * WX measuredlane width)

The denominators 70, 30, and 10 are the maximum allowable extents for the numerator value in the same units. Forexample, low severity alligator cracking totaling 70% of the measured section area would alone fail that section ofroad for this index.

The threshold for failure for this index is AC_INDEX = 60.

Severity Levels:

Low severity alligator cracking describes an area of cracks with no or only a few connecting cracks; cracksare not spalled (cracked, broken, chipped, frayed along the cracks); pumping (water seepage from beneaththe pavement through the cracks) is not evident. Any sealed alligator cracks are low severity alligatorcracks, as long as the sealant is still in good condition. If the sealant has reopened, and the crack is visibleand can be measured, the crack severity is assigned according to that measurement.

Medium severity alligator cracking describes an area of interconnected cracks forming a complete pattern;cracks may be slightly spalled; pumping is not evident.

High severity alligator cracking describes an area of moderately or severely spalled interconnected cracks forming a complete pattern; pieces may move when subjected to traffic; pumping may be evident.

Longitudinal Crack Index

LC_INDEX = 100 – 40 * [(%LOW / 350) + (%MED / 200) + (%HI / 75)]

Where:

The values %LOW, %MED and %HI describe the length of longitudinal cracking of each severity as apercent of the section length. These values are 0 and can exceed 100.

%LOW = (Total linear feet WX measured low severity longitudinal cracking) / (Section length in linearfeet)%MED = (Total linear feet WX measured medium severity longitudinal cracking) / (Section length inlinear feet)%HI = (Total linear feet WX measured high severity longitudinal cracking) / (Section length in linear feet)

The denominators 350, 200, and 75 are the maximum allowable extents for the numerator value in the sameunits. For example, medium severity longitudinal cracking with a total length that is 200% of the length ofthe section would alone fail that section of road for this index.

The threshold for failure for this index is LC_INDEX = 60.

Severity Levels:

Low severity longitudinal cracks have a mean width ¼”, or are sealed cracks of indeterminate width whose sealant material is in good condition.

Medium severity longitudinal cracks have a mean width > ¼” and ¾”.

High severity longitudinal cracks have a mean width > ¾”.

10-3

Transverse Crack Index

TC_INDEX = 100 – {[20 * ((LOW / 15.1) + (MED / 7.5))] + [40 * (HI / 1.9)]}

Where:

The values LOW, MED and HI describe a count of the total number of transverse cracks of each severitylevel, where one transverse crack unit is equal to the WX measured lane width. These values are 0.

LOW = (Total linear feet WX measured low severity transverse cracking) / (WX measured lane width)MED = (Total linear feet WX measured medium severity transverse cracking) / (WX measured lane width)HI = (Total linear feet WX measured high severity transverse cracking) / (WX measured lane width)

The denominators 15.1, 7.5, and 1.9 are the maximum allowable extents for the numerator value in thesame units. For example, high severity transverse cracking with a total length that amounts to 1.9 times theWX measured lane width would alone fail that section of road for this index.

The threshold for failure for this index is TC_INDEX = 60.

Severity Levels:

Low severity transverse cracks have a mean width ¼”, or are sealed cracks of indeterminatewidth whose sealant material is in good condition.

Medium severity transverse cracks have a mean width > ¼” and ¾”.

High severity transverse cracks have a mean width > ¾”.

Patching Index

PATCH_INDEX = 100 – 40 * (%PATCHING / 80)

Where:

The value %PATCHING describes the percent of the total WX measured area that is affected by patching.This value ranges from 0 to 100.

%PATCHING = (Total area WX measured patching) / (Section length * WX measured lane width)

The denominator 80 is the maximum allowable extent for the numerator value in the same units. Patchingtotaling 80% or more of the measured section area fails a section of road for this index.

The threshold for failure for this index is PATCH_INDEX = 60.

There are no severity levels for patching.

Rutting Index

RUT_INDEX = 100 – 40 * [(%LOW / 160) + (%MED / 80) + (%HI / 40)]

Where:

10-4

10 ARAN rut depth measurements are taken per full .02 section for each of 2 wheel paths (left and right),resulting in a total of 20 measurements taken for both wheel paths. The values %LOW, %MED and %HIdescribe the number of ARAN rut depth measurements of both wheel paths in the section whose values are of each severity level, calculated as a percentage of the total number of ARAN rut depth measurementstaken for a single wheel path in the section. These values range from 0 to 200.

%LOW = (Total number of ARAN measured low severity ruts in section for both wheel paths) / (Totalnumber of ARAN rut measurements in section for a single wheel path)%MED = (Total number of ARAN measured medium severity ruts in section for both wheel paths) / (Totalnumber of ARAN rut measurements in section for a single wheel path)%HI = (Total number of ARAN measured high severity ruts in section for both wheel paths) / (Totalnumber of ARAN rut measurements in section for a single wheel path)

The denominators 160, 80, and 40 are the maximum allowable extents for the numerator value in the sameunits. For example, low severity ruts recorded in 16 of the 20 total readings (or 160% of a full wheel path’sworth of readings) for a full .02 section would fail that section for this index.

The threshold for failure for this index is RUT_INDEX = 60.

Severity Levels:

Ruts with an ARAN measured depth < 0.20” are not included in the distress calculations.

Low severity ruts have an ARAN measured depth 0.20” and 0.49”.

Medium severity ruts have an ARAN measured depth 0.50” and 0.99”.

High severity ruts have an ARAN measured depth 1.00”.

Roughness Condition Index

RCI = 32 * [5 * (2.718282 ^ (-0.0041 * AVG IRI))]

Where:

The value AVG IRI describes the average value of the Left IRI and Right IRI measurements for the section.This value can range from approximately 40 to over 1000.

AVG IRI = (ARAN measured Left IRI + ARAN measured Right IRI) / 2

There is no applicable threshold for failure for this index.

NOTE: Collection of roughness data is dependent on the data collection vehicle traveling at a minimum speed of 12mph. In the event that a route cannot be safely traveled at this minimum speed, and results in no roughness data, theSCR only will be calculated.

Surface Condition Rating Index

SCR = 100 - [(100 - AC_INDEX) + (100 - LC_INDEX) + (100 - TC_INDEX) + (100 - PATCH_INDEX)+ (100 - RUT_INDEX)]

Where:

See above for determinations of SCR and RCI.

The values 0.60 and 0.40 function as weights within the formula.

If SCR equals zero (which means that the road surface condition is very poor), then the formula simplyreduces to: PCR = 0.40 * RCI.

If RCI equals zero (which means that this value was not available for some reason), then the formulabecomes: PCR = SCR.

The threshold for failure for this index is PCR = 60.

APPENDIX C: GENERAL INFORMATION ON RIP SYSTEMS

DMI (Distance Measuring Instrument) The DMI (Distance Measuring Instrument) obtains road length measurements that are highly accurate (to 0.001 miles). The DMI is connected to the outside of the rear wheel on the driver’s side, and is wired into the antilockbraking system (ABS). The number of pulses recorded for each wheel rotation by the ABS is registered by the DMI,which transmits a measurement of distance traveled to the processing computers in the ARAN. The DMI distancemeasurements are the foundation to which all the other subsystems are tied.

Digital Image InformationAll images collected in Cycle 4 are digital images in .jpg format. These images provide adequate resolution foridentifying sign and feature inventories and pavement evaluations. The images can be viewed with an interactivesoftware program called VisiData. Each park will receive a copy of the VisiData program. Cycle 4 data, as well as Cycle 3 data, can be viewed using the Visi-Data software program. This program is a data presentation and analysistool that can be accessed either at the individual park, park region or at NPS headquarters. The data is organized ina hierarchical manner and presented in tabular and graphical formats. The user is able to perform queries and drilldown through the data to find the particular information they are looking for. Associated digital right-of-way imagesfrom either the LAN, USB port, individual DVD can be presented along with GPS locations.

Right-of-way (ROW) Video Three digital cameras are mounted above the vehicle’s windshield that point directly forward and slightly to the leftand right. These cameras each collect one image every 0.002 miles (10.56 feet) in the primary-direction lane, to givea panoramic field-of-view of about 160 degrees. (Forward-facing video from the center camera only is collected inthe opposite-direction lane of travel.)If data collection speed exceeds 35-40 mph, the network and storage computers may become overwhelmed and maybegin to drop individual video frames. Occasional common video quality issues include sun glare and rapid changesbetween sunlight and shadow. The camera system is equipped with auto risers that sometimes cannot adjust quickly enough to collect optimal video images.

The ARAN has a lever arm setting which tells the POS system where the center of the

rutbar is with respect to the GPS antennas.

Pavement Video Pavement video images are collected by the data collection vehicle to use in later analysis to determine extents andseverities of different types of pavement distress. The pavement in the primary-direction road lane is filmedcontinuously by two analog cameras attached to booms extended from the rear of the ARAN on the left and rightsides. Strobe lights fire synchronously with the opening of the camera shutters to eliminate shadows and motionblur. The images from the two cameras overlap, and are stitched together in real time to create a continuous stripimage of the pavement in the primary direction lane. This strip has a maximum width of 3.0 meters (actual widthdepends on pavement camera calibration) and is sectioned for ease of file management every 0.010 miles (52.8 feet).

10-8

The cameras both have a resolution of 640 x 480, making the threshold of visible pavement cracks about 3 mm.Because the cameras are triggered by time and not distance traveled, this subsystem requires a minimum operating speed of 6 mph, otherwise images are taken on top of one another and result in checkered or black pavement video.

FHWA ARAN GPS & Inertial SystemGPS is collected by a NovAtel MiLLenium, 12 channel, dual frequency L1/L2, DGPS ready receiver with a MiLLennium 502 GPS antenna. An OmniStar 3000 LR provides real-time differential correction. An ApplanixPOS/LV is the inertial system that fills in when GPS is unavailable. The antenna is mounted in the center of the roof, slightly toward the rear of the vehicle, but a lever arm is applied to place the operational location of GPS recordingat the center of the rutbar on the front bumper of the vehicle. Expected accuracy under ideal conditions is sub meter.

GPS Collected on Manually Rated Routes Parking areas and roads that are not fully drivable with the ARAN data collection vehicle are collected manually by field technicians. GPS is collected for these routes using GPS field data collection utilizes Trimble ProXRS orProXH Receivers matched with Trimble TSC1 or Ranger handheld Data Loggers, connected to Trimble Hurricane Antennas giving sub meter accuracy in ideal conditions. This collection equipment has varied as technology hasimproved over the years of RIP data collection. Some GPS files collected as early as 1998 have been verified for accuracy and perpetuated through the current cycle of data collection.

APPENDIX D: METADATA

FHWA – NPS Road Inventory Program Cycle 4 Metadata

The purpose of these sheets is to provide users of the Road Inventory Program’s data with data accuracies and tolerances to help users define ways in which the RIP data can and cannot be used. For further information onspecifics of data collection equipment, data collection procedures, equipment calibrations, or quality control/qualityassurance procedures, please contact Jim Kennedy, Project Manager, Data Quality Assurance, at 720-963-3560 [email protected].

All Road Inventory Program data undergoes quality control and quality assurance testing. This document representsthe known data accuracies and tolerances for the data collection equipment, data collection procedures, and dataprocessing procedures currently in use. Many additional tests conducted on the park databases during the qualityassurance phase to ensure data integrity are not listed as a part of this document. Before it is delivered, a parkdatabase undergoes a large set of table design consistency, field data format consistency, data completeness,uniqueness of key fields, data reasonableness, acceptable data range, within-field data consistency, between-fielddata consistency, and between-table data consistency tests. Additional data sampling checks are conducted to ensureproper data upload from raw files into the park database and to quality check the pavement crack analysis. Furtherinformation is detailed in the FHWA – NPS RIP Quality Assurance Manual, available upon request.

This description of metadata includes only the known accuracies with which a data field matches its expected value.The tables that follow this page show each database field’s:

Field – field name

Format – data type and number of characters of field

Expected Value – meaning of value assigned to field

Source – when in process field value obtained

Validation – how field value obtained

Expected Accuracy – accuracy with which contents of field match Expected Value

Verifying and continually improving the accuracy of Road Inventory Program data is an ongoing goal of the FederalHighway Administration and the National Park Service. Field testing and post-collection analysis of ARAN(Automatic Road ANalyzer) -collected data will continue in Cycle 4. Data quality is expected to improve as theFHWA – NPS Road Inventory Program continues to operate, due to the fact that future data collection cycles will consist in large part of data updates. Also, technological improvements are expected to render the data increasinglyconsistent with actual roadway conditions as data collection cycles progress.

Specific Caveats

MUTCD based on contents & colors of sign, not on size

Database records that show a Portland Cement Concrete (CO) surface type sometimes include distressindex values that seem to show a perfect roadway. Condition assessments on concrete pavements are not conducted for Alligator Cracking, Transverse or Longitudinal Cracking, Patching, or Rutting. Perfect values for concrete road sections for these indexes are default values and do not represent a conditionassessment of the concrete surfaces.

On the USB drive, in the Database folder, parks are provided with intersection lists and exceptions lists.These documents should be treated as raw files and are not accurate. Refer to the final database for accurately post-processed intersection data.

Most roadway data is collected in the primary direction lane of a roadway. To save data storage space andto reduce data analysis efforts, the assumption was made that the paved surface condition of a route’sprimary lane adequately represents the surface condition of the full roadway. Therefore, in the database,opposite-direction records in the PMS_Tenth table do not include assessed values for roadway surface distresses. Values such as 0, N/A, -1, or a repeat of the primary-direction assessed value indicate that no assessment was performed. The PMS_20 and PMS_Mile tables simply exclude all opposite routes.

10-11

10-12

Roadway Data is collected in intervals of 0.010 miles (52.8feet) constituting a “station”.

Most roadway features are collected relative to the primary direction lane of a roadway, using the primary-direction video and mileage. Signs and Mile Markers are the only features collected using the opposite-direction video with mileage location referenced to the primary direction lane of the roadway.

Route_GPS table contains GPS positional information collected by the ARAN and post processed with Applanix POSPac Land 5.0 post-processing software. No manual adjustments have occurred on this table.

Modifications to the Park_ROAD_04.dbf/.shp/.shx files may have been necessary for report esthetics.

Modifications to the Park_PKG_04. dbf/.shp/.shx files may have been necessary for report esthetics.

Cycle 4 utilizes the Microsoft Office 2003 suite of products and Crystal Reports XI for document and data file generation and reporting.

All PDF files are in Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional format.

All ArcGIS files are created using ESRI Version 9.x software.

Thumbnail images are created at 1/10 original image size for Right-of-Way and Pavement Images.

FHWA is investigating the rutting methodology and calculated values it currently reports. Equipment limitations and analysis methods may be over reporting, low severity rutting.

Key to Notes in Tables

(1): Note that only one value fits in field, so even if this value varies throughout the route, only predominant value is recorded here. (2): Shoulder width is measured at route start and every half-mile along the route in the primary direction. Width is the entire width of the drivable shoulder, regardless of the presence or absence of pavement, from the fog line to the shoulder hinge point, or if no fog line exists, from the edge of pavement to the hinge point. Identification of shoulder hinge point can be problematic using video analysis. Some paved ditches may be mistakenly recorded as shoulders where the shoulder hinge point and change in slope are not easily distinguished from the video. (3): Mileage is measured by the ARAN (Automatic Road ANalyzer) data collection vehicle out to the 0.001 decimal place. The DMI (distance measuring instrument) is very accurate, with extremely slight variations in measurement due to air temperature, tire inflation, curves, hills, and equipment calibration. (4): Features are measured differently depending on whether they are visible in the forward-facing video of the roadway, but every feature milepost measurement depends on the baseline measurement of the data collection vehicle’s mileage. The ARAN (Automatic Road ANalyzer) data collection vehicle’s mileage is measured by the DMI (distance measuring instrument) out to the 0.001 decimal place. The DMI is very accurate, with extremely slight variations in measurement due to air temperature, tire inflation, curves, hills, and equipment calibration. If a feature will not be visible in the forward-facing video, its milepost is determined by the data collectors’ key press tagging the milepost when the ARAN passes the feature. Key presses are entered into the ARAN software when the vehicle travels typically between 15 and 45 miles/hour, so a delay of a single second as the vehicle passes a feature would result in an inaccuracy of 0.004 miles (22 feet) to 0.012 miles (66 feet). If a feature is visible in the video, its milepost is determined during post-processing using a video measurement software called Surveyor. (5): Condition assessments on concrete (PCC) pavements are not conducted for Alligator Cracking, Transverse or Longitudinal Cracking, Patching, or Rutting. Perfect values for concrete road sections for these indexes are default values and do not represent a condition assessment of the concrete surfaces. (6): Roadway cracking presence, type, severity, and extent are determined by filming the roadway in the primary lane continuously with two overlapping analog cameras of 640 x 480 resolutions. The images from both cameras are stitched together in real time to create a continuous strip image of the roadway pavement in the primary lane. Cracks 3 mm or greater in width are visible in this video. A semi-automatic process running the WiseCrax software with additional input by human operators provides the cracking quantities recorded in these database fields. Quality checks have determined that a consistent 80% or better of the visible cracks are recorded.

Business Practices for Route Numbering and Roadway Asset Identification

Introduction and Background:

Beginning in November 2006, inventory and condition information gathered by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has been stored in FMSS to enable NPS to report Deferred Maintenance (DM) and Current Replacement Value (CRV) for NPS paved roads, paved parking areas, bridges, and tunnels. The NPS Roads Working Group (RWG) has been tasked with developing and implementing the procedures necessary to transfer DM and CRV from FHWA’s databases to NPS’ Facility Management Software System (FMSS).

Current business practices for roadway definition in national parks involve face-to-face meetings between FHWA personnel and individual park staff known as “Route ID” meetings. These meetings have been ongoing for several years and have been performed within the context of the Road Inventory Program (RIP) executed mainly by FHWA. The primary focus of these meetings has been on defining roadway static information such as route names, numbers, functional class, etc. The FHWA personnel are the primary individuals responsible for implementing the RIP and the route ID meetings are an integral and fundamental part of that process. The RIP process provides route numbers for each individual road and parking area in each park. After the route ID meetings establish a given park’s roadway asset base, various types of condition and inventory data are collected either manually or with a data collection van that drives each individual road with an individual route number.

The FMSS requires asset numbers as unique identifiers for all asset types including roadways. The current practice is that all roadways that are assigned a route

number at route ID, also are defined as assets and therefore also receive an FMSS

asset number (Route names and functional classes are also collaboratively assigned during the face-to-face route ID meetings). This practice began midway through the third RIP data collection cycle (ending in 2003) and was further reinforced during an asset alignment process conducted in the summer of 2006. The alignment process ensured that each route number in RIP and each asset number in FMSS were matched to the correct road and parking area.

Issue Statement:

As a result of various pre-existing business practices associated with the RIP, which predates FMSS by several years, route numbers are assigned for routes that are often very small. In tandem with the current business practice that all routes with route numbers are considered assets, this has caused a proliferation of asset numbers within FMSS. Over the past year, the RWG has learned that this business practice has significantly increased time and resources that parks must dedicate to administering FMSS data entry and management. This additional work effort is due to the fact that tying FMSS asset records to the more detailed, granular RIP route numbers has generated numerous new assets that require additional database and work order management. This has led to a situation where assets are not being defined the way they are managed.

The following proposed practices seek to create an asset definition process that is dictated by to how road assets are managed at the park level, not according to the pre-existing practices used in RIP for collecting detailed road information. RIP practices assign route numbers mainly based on how data are collected and driven with a data collection device.These procedures will disassociate the driving of roads with the data collection van from the process of assigning them asset status. The end goal is to only assign asset

numbers based on how parks manage their facilities within guidelines set up within

FMSS and herein. Driving the road with the data collection van allows for the collection of higher quality data as well as the ability to view road segments with video viewing software (Visidata). By de-linking driving the roads with the assignment of “asset status”, we are able to get the best quality data without the proliferation of assets that has serious negative ramifications for managing roadways in parks using asset management tools.

Proposed Actions:

1. Make a distinction within the route number field in the RIP database between those route numbers that represent assets, those that are subcomponents of assets and those that are groups of sub-components. The route number field in the RIP database will be expanded from 6 to 7 characters. The additional character will denote the asset status of the route in question. Combined routes will be designated with a double “zz”, while subcomponents will be designated with one “z”. Whenever possible, a combined route should use the lowest route number to be combined as the combined route number.

2. Only show assets, whether a group of subcomponents or a single component, on the Route ID report. Assets that are composed of subcomponents will have “zz” in the route number. Individual routes will have no additional characters in the route number. Subcomponents (designated in RIP with a “z”) will not be listed on the route ID report. Only assign asset numbers to those routes listed on the route ID report.

3. Provide a separate reporting function (other than the Route ID report) to identify and display information for route numbers not representing assets. Specific reporting requirements and format TBD.

4. Add a new field to the RIP database to indicate the “asset status” of a route number. The flag will have three possible values:

a. Asset with no subcomponents. b. Asset with subcomponents. c. Non-asset (i.e. subcomponent).

Both a change in the route number and a new “asset ID” field in the RIP database are recommended. It is easier to perform queries and other database manipulations using a separate field instead of a character within the route number field. The character in the route number field allows for rapid identification of the asset status of a road without having to access the database as a whole. Even thought non-asset routes will not be included in the route ID report (the primary location for parks to view road information in RIP), there are many other reports as well as the Visidata application where the route number is

10 - 36

displayed. In these cases, the character in the route number will clearly identify the asset status of the roadway.

5. Focus asset definition practices on NPS asset management needs. Create roadway assets based on how parks manage these assets within the following guidelines:

a. Individual road segments (asset subcomponents) may be combined into a single asset. Note that all the attributes of individual subcomponents

(paved area, equipment, work orders, etc) will be included in the

combined asset.

b. In general, combination should be used in complex circulatory environments such as campground areas, housing and other administrative areas, maintenance areas, etc.

c. Public and non-public segments may not be combined. d. Segments with differing functional classes may not be combined. e. Discrete parking areas may be combined into a single asset where they

service the same facility or resource and are within walking distance of each other.

f. Parking areas and roads may not be combined. This includes short road segments that may be near or adjacent to parking areas. See 5h below for exceptions to this.

g. Where the primary purpose of a road is to provide access to a parking area, and that road segment is approximately 0.25 miles in length or shorter, the access road should be considered part of the parking area (Note that this is an existing RIP business practice).

h. Particularly long routes may be divided into multiple assets based on how a park manages the roadway network. This should not be confused with the use of sub-components listed in 5a.

i. Roads that are actively managed by concession operations may not be combined with those managed by the NPS.

Discussion:

The first four items listed above are actions required by FHWA RIP to allow for the adoption of the practices shown in 5a-i. The following will provide additional direction and examples for guidelines listed.

Individual road segments (asset subcomponents) may be combined into a single asset.Where previous route ID practices have generated more assets (routes) than are practical from an asset management standpoint, small, discrete road lengths may be designated as asset subcomponents and then combined into a larger single asset. A subcomponent is NOT an FMSS term. Subcomponents will be used in RIP to indicate which routes are small, drivable individual road segments and which routes may include these segments. Once a piece of road is designated a subcomponent of another route, it will no longer have any individual identity in FMSS. Only those routes listed on the RIP Route ID report will have asset numbers in FMSS. As stated in business rule 2 above, subcomponents will not be listed on the route ID. The quantity information (length, area) will be included into the larger route of which they are a part. See Figures 1 and 2 for an example of how existing assets may be combined using subcomponents. Note that

10 - 37

subcomponents will have an identity in the RIP database and, if driven by RIP team, may be referenced in RIP reports, Visidata, or other RIP documentation.

four assets.

In general, combination should occur in complex circulatory environments such as campground areas, housing and other administrative areas, maintenance areas, etc.

Typically these complex situations are where too many assets have been used to define roadways. Combining simple “point A to point B” roads that are clearly defined and provide access to different facilities or locations may not be done.

Public and non-public segments may not be combined. Roads that are posted as closed to the public or are intended as administrative access only (maintenance areas, housing areas, fire roads, etc) can not be combined with roads open to the public.

Segments with differing functional classes may not be combined. The roadway functional class is found on the Route ID report. Functional class indicates the type of circulatory function a given road provides. Functional class is used in a variety of applications (engineering, safety, funding) so it is important to maintain the correct functional class attributes of individual roads/assets. There are some cases where functional class was erroneously assigned in prior Route ID meetings such as where campground loops have a different functional class than the campground road. Functional classes of individual roads may be modified to correct discrepancies. The functional class definitions may not be modified.

Discrete parking areas may be combined into a single asset where they service the same facility or resource and are within walking distance of each other. These combined areas should be maintained as one asset. There are many instances where small (5-10 space), discrete parking areas have been separated into individual assets even though they provide parking for the same area or facility. These may be combined into a single asset. Figures 3 and 4 shows examples of combining parking areas.

Figure 3: Parking with access route 204 and multiple parking areas (1160 A-L). Currently, this

parking area is 12 routes and 12 assets ( one 1100 asset and 11 1300 assets).

Figure 4: Parking with access route 204 and one parking area 1160zz. Route 204 is assumed longer

than 0.25 miles. There are now 2 assets (one 1100 asset, one 1300 asset) instead of 12.

Parking areas and roads may not be combined. Parking areas and roads are tracked as separate asset types (1300 vs. 1100) in FMSS and as such should not be combined except in situations described by 5g. In Figure 5, Route 207 is a spur road from the main route running through parking area 1102. Since the spur road continues through and beyond the parking area, it will remain a separate route.

Figure 5: Parking with access route 207 running through and continuing beyond parking 1102. This

access route cannot be considered a part of the parking area and two routes and two assets continue

to exist.

Where the primary purpose of a road is to provide access to a parking area, and that road segment is less than 0.25 miles in length, the access road should be considered part of the parking area. See Figures 8. Where a road continues on past a parking area to another facility or destination, even if it is less than 0.25 miles to the initial parking area, the road and parking area may not be combined.

10 - 41

Figure 6: Since the access route is less than .25 miles in length and the only use of the access is to the

parking, one route for both the access and the parking area can be established.

Particularly long routes may be divided into multiple assets based on how a park manages the roadway network. This should not be confused with the use of sub-components listed in 5a. Routes like the Blue Ridge Parkway or the Yellowstone Grand Loop may not lend themselves to management as a single asset by virtue of their length. Often management districts are created for sections of these routes and maintenance activities occur primarily within these districts. Parks may break routes up into separate assets during the Route ID process if the road is managed as discrete sections. This should only be done for very long roads.

The following example illustrates a complex road system and how the proposed business practice and several of the guidelines could be applied to create fewer assets that are consistent with local management.

Figure 7 – Current Housing area access configuration. Route 409 is less than 0.25 miles long.

The area serviced by Routes 409, 421, 422, 968A, and 968B is all employee housing. Route 940 provides access to visitor services and not to the housing area. Routes may be combined to create assets that reflect local management. Routes 409, 421, and 422 are all the same functional class, provide access to one type of activity (housing) and are all posted as non-public. These routes may be combined. They should not be combined with any parking areas even though they are all less than 0.25 miles long. This is because their main function is not to provide access to parking. Routes 968A and B provide parking for access to the same facility (housing). Even though these discrete areas may provide parking to different housing units, it’s reasonable to manage them as a single asset. They may also be combined.

eliminate 3 assets.
